Still looking .

Not wading into the personalities involved here, it does amaze me sometimes when I see ads looking for the best, rarest and hardest to find items in the hobby. Those of us who have been tinkering for years know the likelihood (or not) of finding such things and, should we ever want one, would start beating the bushes with the contacts we've nurtured over decades. That said, who know what a 'wanted' ad might uncover.

My experience with such ads, and it's only my experience, is that the buyer is looking for that rare item not as a life long desire but to flip it.

Unfortunately this is also prevalent within the militaria collecting community with "What have I bought, what is it worth?" posts common on the forums. Thanks to current TV shows and the insatiable demand for this material a whole generation of speculator 'collectors' have been encouraged to seek 'home runs'.

And It’s also common that people who have nothing to BUY or SELL and lots of spare time will put their NOSE into web forms .
